Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 452
Chapter 456

Ran Ming also turned a blind eye, eating meat by himself, he had to let others drink the soup.Now Ran Ming needs to use the grain, down jackets, and fire oil saved by these merchants. Ran Ming also knows that these merchants will actually sell down jackets and high-grade wine to Yan Guo every winter.And Jizhou is the distribution center for their materials.

Ran Ming said loudly: "Remember, things don't need to be transported here, they are all transported to the vicinity of Hunni City and buried. Just tell Gu the location of your master's burial. Gu will settle the bill with all the masters when he receives the goods. .Of course, in order to commend some merchants for their support to Gu, if they perform outstandingly in this transaction, Gu will sell their rice paper technology for a fee!"

Ran Ming is killing two birds with one stone. In order to complete Ran Ming's plan, he must take a lot of risks.Although the market price of three times is not low, it is compared to Xiang Dai and Yan.Compared with some Hu tribes in Mobei, the profit is still a bit low.This time Ran Ming moved out of rice paper, and the profit of rice paper is quite high. Getting rice paper technology is equivalent to getting an old hen that can lay golden eggs.

No merchant will not be tempted.Ran Ming's opening up of rice paper technology is also due to his political stance. The current monopoly price of rice paper is too high, which is not conducive to cultural development.As Ran Ming, who wholeheartedly wanted to reduce the influence of the noble family, he naturally wouldn't let himself be trapped by his own hands and feet.

These guards refused to admit that they were the undercover agents of the merchants, but when they heard that they could get the rice paper technology if they performed well, they immediately ran away, and even forgot to ask Ran Ming to leave. , There are also things like kettles. These things are just appearances. In fact, there is a universe inside. They actually only have an appearance, but they are actually cages for homing pigeons.

These various carrier pigeon cages were opened one by one, and the carrier pigeons representing their respective merchants spread their wings and flew high.

Seeing this phenomenon, Ran Ming laughed out loud.But Xue Tao was speechless for a while.

Xue Tao's face was about to ooze blood. It turned out that his subordinates were all gangsters!

Ran Ming saw through Xue Tao's self-blame, and comforted him: "General Xue doesn't have to worry about the rewards of eating the emperor and the matter of being loyal to the emperor, this is just a normal phenomenon."

Xue Tao murmured: "Your Highness, Tao really doesn't know, if he knows, these bastards, I want them to look good!"

Ran Ming patted Xue Tao on the shoulder and continued on his way.

Wang Meng said: "Meng did not expect His Highness to solve this problem so perfectly. Since this is the case, our little plan needs to be changed!"

"Oh!" Ran Ming asked curiously, "How to change?"

Wang Meng said: "Murong Ke was once defeated by Your Highness, I'm afraid I still have lingering fears about His Highness, why don't Your Highness write a letter and tell Murong Ke how to peacefully resolve the dispute between Yan and Wei?"

Ran Ming understood a little bit, Wang Meng's intention, Wang Meng was planning to disturb Murong Ke's mind and make him make mistakes.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Ran Ming said, "Just write a book here!"

Fan Yang, the commander-in-chief of the Yan Army camp, Murong Ke looked at the person in front of him and said: "Who are you?"

"Speak to His Royal Highness the Regent of Dayan, I am the unicorn Wei Xiaoqi and Sun Hui under the command of the King of Jiaodong! By the order of the King of Jiaodong, come to pass a letter!" A tall and hulking man, neither arrogant nor humble.

"I believe it!" Murong Ke did not hesitate, and was about to get up to believe it.

"Slow down!" Yan Chenlan said, "Regent, beware of fraud!"

Lan Jian pondered for a moment, then winked at a Xianbei warrior.The Xianbei warrior walked up to Sun Hui, "I believe it!"

Before Sun Hui entered Murong Ke's tent, he had already been searched by the sergeant of Murong's department. He didn't have any weapons on him at all.

Sun Hui sneered and said: "I heard that Murong Ke of Yan State is an unworldly hero. I didn't expect it, but that's all!"

"Bold"

"presumptuous!"

"Han dog, shut up!"

"Believe it or not, I tore you up!"... Immediately there was a lot of shouting and cursing from the handsome tent.

Murong Ke yelled majestically: "Shut up, you'll back down!"

Lan Jian took the letter and opened it. Ran Ming's letter to Murong Ke was very short, only a few words.

The general idea in Ran Mingxin's letter is that the feud between Wei Guo and Yan Guo has been deeply entangled, and the enemies have not been resolved. Let's talk about the future of the two countries. I don't know if Murong Ke dares to come here for a while!
The place and time are determined by Murong Ke. Ran Mingjie only brings 500 people to meet him. If Murong Ke decides, he will tell the people who come.

"Your envoy has worked hard all the way, go down and rest first!"

Sending Sun Hui away, Murong Ke took the letter and asked the generals of Yan Kingdom in the tent, "What the hell is Ran Ming doing?"

"This must be a Hongmen Banquet. Ran Ming is a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken, and he has no good intentions!" said Murong Heng, Yidu Wang of the Yan Kingdom.

Although Murong Heng also learned a little Chinese, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that he had a language problem. If Ran Ming was a weasel, then wouldn't Murong Ke be a chicken?
Murong Heng said: "Fourth brother, what my younger brother means... is!"

Murong Ke waved his hand to signal Murong Heng not to worry.

Gao Kai, Murong Ke's confidant, is the son of his uncle Gao Xu, his aunt's cousin, and Gao Kai's son Gao Zhao, who is also Murong Ke's cousin.Gao Zhao is currently the literary rafter of the Prince Regent's Mansion.

Gao Zhao said: "This matter is not easy to handle. With Ran Ming's deceitfulness, there may be something wrong with this matter. But if His Royal Highness ignores it, if it spreads out, it will weaken the momentum by three points. But such a lighthearted person It is not a gentleman's action to be involved in danger! It is really difficult to decide on this matter!"

"Ran Ming has no good intentions, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent must never go there!"

Murong Ke is not only the regent of Yan State, but also the leader of Yan State. His safety is related to the future and destiny of Yan State. See Ran Ming.

Murong Ke looked at the civil and military officials present, and said with a smile: "Now let's not care whether Ran Ming has any conspiracy or not, I just want to know what purpose Ran Ming has in doing this?"

Gao Zhao, a literary scholar, is actually Murong Ke's adviser.However, compared with his old man, Gao Kai, Gao Zhao is far behind.Gao Kai said without hesitation: "Jiaodong Wang Ranming's purpose is now clearly revealed. He must have wanted to rescue the tens of thousands of Xuyuan troops who were besieged by us. Wei's Zhenxi General Wang Zhuo succeeded the Hussar General Zhang Yu. Rebelling against Wei again, this time Wang Zhuo joined forces with Fu Jian and Sima Xun, the governor of Liangzhou in the Jin Dynasty, to jointly attack Guanzhong. Wei Guo was in the embarrassing situation of Ran Min's death, the morale of the people was shaken, and the situation was in danger. Against this background , Xu Yuan's [-] to [-] troops are particularly important to Wei."

Murong Ke said: "Rong Guang (Gao Zhaobiao) means that Ran Ming wants to seek peace!"

Gao Zhao nodded and said: "The regent is wise, Ran Ming has seen that our army is weak, and there is no way to take over the country of Yan. He must want to take advantage of our lack of strength and it is difficult to swallow the country of Wei, so he will definitely ask us The Kingdom of Yan seeks peace, and it is estimated that in order to persuade the regent to withdraw troops, the Wei Congress will make a lot of concessions in terms of interests!"

Murong Ke said: "Isn't that enough? Ran Ming, because there may be changes in Guanzhong of Wei State, Guanzhong is too important to Wei State. Now Jizhou and Yanzhou have experienced chaos for a long time, people's livelihood is dying, and the fields are barren. Different, Guanzhong not only has rich land, but also has millions of people. The terrain in Guanzhong is steep, and there are four defenses outside, so that Wei can be invincible.

The two benefits are more important than the gains, and the two evils are the lesser.There is a trade-off between gains and losses, Wei Guo wants to seek peace, stabilize our army, free up his hands to clean up Wang Zhuo, Fu Jian, and Sima Xun, and keep Guanzhong.Now our army is facing a situation where the battle line is stretched, supplies are insufficient, and it is difficult to fight for a long time. Moreover, the Wei State has strong resistance and adopts a strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing ambitions.Now there is a great opportunity to get the Jizhou Plain without a single soldier, why don't we go with the flow? "

In fact, at this time, Murong Ke had made up his mind and had a good talk with Ran Ming.

To put it bluntly, Yan Guo is still weak.Snakes swallow elephants, the weak overcome the strong, there is no lack of such examples in the military, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Feishui, and the Battle of Dagang between the Liao and Jin Dynasties, who can think of the world at that time, 70 Jurchen soldiers and horses Can defeat [-] Liao army?But this kind of victory has one of the most notable characteristics, that is, the party with a large number of people has more internal troubles than foreign troubles.

However, Wei State has no foreign troubles. The Han people who have been oppressed by the Hu people for a long time have finally turned themselves into masters. How could they be willing to go back to "before liberation". The shortcoming of successor weakness was exposed.

Murong Ke also got the news that Wei State's Huaxia Business Alliance has assembled 30 craftsmen (basically all male workers), and is ready to leave Qingzhou to Yecheng King Qin anytime within ten days.Murong Ke clearly realized that the military conquest of Wei State was not determined by the first battle. If Wei State was really aroused to fight to the death, Yan State would eventually conquer Yecheng and uproot the Ran family. He is also not eligible to enjoy the fruits of victory over Wei.

It is certainly possible to fight quickly, but if he wants to go deep into Yecheng and attack Yecheng in the hinterland of Wei State, Murong Ke is facing the danger of being intercepted from the rear and caught in the urn of Wei State.The dispute between Yan and Wei is destined not to be resolved in a short period of time. Murong Ke does not have the capital to fight a protracted war. If there is a slight difference, he may face disaster.

Lan Jian frowned and said, "What does the Regent mean?"

"It's very simple, I just want to meet Ran Ming for a while!" Murong Ke said with a smile: "Ran Ming's intention to seek peace has been clearly revealed, he did not hesitate to ask Gu to determine the time and place of the meeting, the purpose is to fear that Gu will worry about Ran Ming's conspiracy , dare not take risks lightly. Now that I have the initiative, my trip is not only not dangerous, but also has unexpected gains. Maybe we don’t have to wait for the severe winter to come, we can stop fighting!"

Lan Jian still had doubts, so he said: "Your Highness, please don't be careless. I think that Your Highness might make two-handed preparations."
